This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both
personal injury and material
damage.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully
before installation and before using
it for the first time. They contain
important notes on the installation,
safety, operation and care of the
appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
~The microwave combination oven is
intended for domestic use only: to
defrost, reheat, cook, bake, roast and
to grill food. Any other usage is at the
owner's risk and could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use of the appliance.
~Never use the appliance to store or
dry items which could ignite easily.
Moisture evaporates. Fire hazard.
~This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
are supervised whilst using it, or have
been shown how to use it correctly by a
person responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury keep children well
away and do not let them play with it or
use the controls. They will not
understand the potential dangers
posed by it. They should be supervised
whenever you are working in the
kitchen.
~Older children may only use the
microwave combination oven when its
operation has been clearly explained to
them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
~Great care should be taken to
ensure that small children do not touch
the appliance when it is being used.
External parts of the oven such as the
door glass, control panel and the vent
become quite hot. Children's skin is far
more sensitive to high temperatures
than that of adults. Danger of burning.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance until after installlation,
maintenance or repair work has been
carried out.
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install or attempt to use a
damaged appliance. Danger of injury.
~Do not use the microwave function
of the appliance if
– the door is warped,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the
casing, the door, the door seal or the
oven interior walls.
Operating the appliance with this type
of damage will result in microwave
leakage and present a hazard to the
user.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and
where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply, otherwise the appliance could
be damaged. Consult a competent
person if in doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a multi-
socket unit or an extension lead. These
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse is disconnected,
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
–or it has been switched off at the
isolator or at the wall socket and the
plug has been withdrawn.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician.
~This equipment may only be used in
mobile installations such as ships,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment has been carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Correct use
Caution. Danger of burning.
The oven interior gets very hot when
operating with functions which do
not use microwave power and also
with combination programmes which
do use microwave power.
~Use oven gloves when placing food
in the oven, turning or removing it and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a
hot oven.
The top heat/grill elements get very hot
when the oven is being used on the
Conventional, Grill, Fan grill, MW+Grill
and MW+Fan grill functions. Danger of
burning.
~Plastic containers must only be used
with Microwave Solo. These melt at
high temperatures, and if used with any
other function the appliance could be
damaged.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its initial temperature, changes to
recipe and the shape and size of
cooking container.
Some foods may contain micro-
organisms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when
cooking or re-heating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through (at
temperatures of over 70°C for more
than 10 minutes). If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved by
stirring and/or turning the food, and by
observing a sufficiently long standing
time, which should be added to the
time needed for cooking, reheating or
defrosting.
~Please be aware that using
microwave power will shorten cooking,
reheating and defrosting times
considerably compared to when using
functions without microwave power.
Make sure that you keep to the
recommended grilling times when
using the Grill and Fan grill functions.
However, excessively long cooking
times can lead to food drying out and
burning or could even cause the food
to catch fire.
– Do not use the microwave function to
dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs,
grain etc.
– Do not use any functions which use
the grill to heat and crisp up rolls or
bread, or to dry flowers, herbs, grain
etc.
Use the Fan plus function for these
types of procedure and do not leave
the oven unattended.
~Never cover the floor of the oven
with aluminium foil when using the oven
on the Conventional, Bottom heat,
Intensive bake and Fan plus functions.
Never place a cooking container or the
glass tray directly on the floor of the
oven. The resulting build-up of heat can
damage the oven.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
~Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave, as this can easily ignite.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please
be aware that high temperatures can
cause the alcohol to vaporise and even
to ignite on the hot heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger. Fire hazard.
~Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food in the oven. Pressure can build
up and they may explode, resulting in
injury or damage.
~If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid
fuelling any flame do not open the door.
Cancel the cooking process by
switching the appliance off, switch off
at the socket and remove the plug. Do
not open the oven door until the smoke
has dispersed.
Warning and Safety instructions

~Moisture in food could lead to
corrosion in the oven interior and
corrosion damage of the control panel,
worktop or housing unit.
–Always cover food when using the
Microwave (Solo) function. After food
has been brought to the boil,
continue cooking it at a lower setting
to avoid excess steam escaping.
–If you wish to complete a cooking
process using the residual heat in
the oven, do not switch the
appliance off. Leave the function
selector at the position set and turn
the temperature selector to the
lowest setting.
– Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot, as this will
prevent it from drying out.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
~Do not lean or sit on an open door,
or place heavy items on it. This could
damage the appliance. The door can
support a maximum load of 8 kg.
~Do not use full power to warm empty
dishes or to dry out herbs. Do not use
the appliance without food, or if it is
incorrectly loaded.
~Do not use the microwave function
to heat up cushions or pads filled with
cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or
gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite
when heated even after they have been
removed from the appliance.
~Exercise caution when cooking or
reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelise or ignite. Always ensure that
this type of procedure is supervised.
~The microwave combination oven is
not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items. They can get extremely hot and
there is a danger of burning when the
item is removed.
~Before serving, remember to allow a
sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
food after taking it out of the oven. The
temperature of the container is not an
indication of the temperature of the
food or liquid in it as the heat is
directed straight to the food. The
container is only warmed up through
the transfer of heat from the food, and
tends not to become as hot.
Be particularly careful when warming
up baby food that the food does not
get too hot.
Always stir or shake baby milk and food
after heating it up, and taste it first to
make sure it is not too hot.
